I just received my invitation for a three month business visa through WTR and have a few questions about the application.
I'm a US citizen and will be applying through the DC Consulate in a week or so. I have no actual business in Saint Petersburg (where I'll be staying) but do have an apartment lined up ahead of time. Which I think takes care of question #39 "Name, address, and phone number of person, organization or hotel you will be staying with." (I'm guessing it would be the landlady's name followed by address).
I've seen before that people leave question #9 blank on tourist applications, however what should I put for the business application if I don't actually have any institutions to visit? (the question is "Russian institution or organization to be visited (name and address, phone, fax number, E-mail (if known), name of contact person))
I've been grilled before while applying to visas for other countries (and these were entirely legal unlike this one where I'll be doing exactly not what my visa states!) and this makes me quite nervous. Has anyone ever been submitted to interrogation over business visas at the consulate before? Any help or advice on how to fill out this application and deal with the consulate visit is greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for your help!

There's an inviting organisation listed on your invitation. I can't remember how the invitation looks so I can't tell you exactly where it is. But see if you can work it out. If not, contact the visa support company and ask them what the inviting company is called (as well as their address and phone). I've always put this information for both questions (#9 and #39). But I suppose it wouldn't be a problem to put the landlord's contacts for #39.
